says it all really
totally superior attitude!! and if you integrated the pilots into BA it would stop the "Ex BA Prostitutes" as they would be too old.
Simple really

They are not doing, quote: "your work" they are competitors totally different, and if they wish to work for BA they should apply.
I agree with the principal that you do not wish to see your T and Cs erroded due to lower cost companies doing your work, but it needs to be addressed in a far more mature way to protect your future.
Wake up and smell the coffee!! the management are laughing at you big time by the dividing the pilot forces, by working together for a common cause you will be far stronger.
BTW why do you think BA are struggling so much to get pilots? its because the terms and conditions have been erroded to such an extent that people are just not interested anymore. I worry for you guys as you may find things becoming very uncomfortable in the future unless you pull together.
